Pastor Corby Angle
Teaching Pastor
Pastor Corby grew up in an atheist home and has lived all over the world including in Asia, Europe, and the United States. In November of 2003, after moving to New York and attending First Baptist Church of Peekskill for almost three years, he surrendered his life to Christ.
​
When the pastor who had mentored him accepted a call to another church, the elders, seeing his passion and calling, asked Pastor Corby to join the staff in that role. In September of 2010, he left his career in investment banking and joined the staff as the minister of evangelism and discipleship, later becoming our teaching pastor. God has given him a passion for evangelism, discipleship, missions, and teaching.
​
Pastor Corby and his wife Debra have been married over 42 years, have three children, six grandchildren and love serving in the church and visiting family and, when the opportunity presents itself, Pastor Corby has been known to go fly whatever airplane he can get his hands on.
Pastor Paul Kastuk
Evangelism & Discipleship
Pastor Paul doesn't sleep, he's on mission for the Lord 24/7. The Lord has gifted him with a manganous, and outgoing personality and he is always equipped to share the Gospel with those that cross his path.
"Do you want a golden ticket?" and you have been handed a "Four Spiritual Laws" booklet, well you've just come across our Pastor Paul.
Paul was born in Putnam Valley and met his future bride Julie at SUNY Plattsburgh where they both attended college. They have three children, two of whom are married, and five grandchildren with another one coming at the end of the this year. They have been married for 42 years. Outside of FBC, he is a practicing Chiropractor, but walk into his office you have actually entered a center for ministry.
Paul's ministry at FBC is most prominently seen in the areas of our discipleship and evangelism programs. He also prepares believers for baptism and church membership.
